82. Big trouble (ask for recommendation, ask for collection, ask for subscription)
Wen Sheng naturally had no way of knowing the little story that happened between a certain fan in the East End, and he was struggling with the team's big troubles, and Silva was injured by Richards during a training session on Tuesday.
At that time, Wensheng was practicing the tactics against Ajax, Silva was shoveled to the ground by Richards when he broke through with the ball, Silva was injured because of this, Silva's condition was not so bad at that time, and he continued to participate in training after being dealt with by the team doctor, who knew that Silva couldn't hold on when the training was about to end, and the team doctor estimated that Silva should have aggravated the injury when he continued to train.
After training, the team doctor sent Silva to the hospital for examination, and the result brought a bolt from the blue to Wensheng, Silva actually tore the ligament in his knee and needed surgery, and it is estimated that he will be out of action for four or five months.
In the summer, Wen Sheng originally thought that the Spanish attacking midfielder and De Bruyne would have a position conflict and ball conflict, after all, he watched Manchester City's game Silva is one of the dominant players in the ball, and De Bruyne is also the absolute dominant player in the ball at Crystal Palace, and it is very likely that the two will have a problem with the distribution of the ball.
With the return of Silva, the team ran in, teammates ran in, Wen Sheng restricted Toure to take the ball to the front, Silva and De Bruyne actually found a tacit understanding, simply put, they are not double forwards in the strict sense of the word, but the front and wingers switch to each other.
When Silva is in charge of the ball, De Bruyne will follow his baton, and when De Bruyne is in charge, Silva will do the same, and the two communicate more on the pitch, and the team's results are inseparable from their complementarity.
Wen Sheng now believes that he has perfectly achieved the two-core strategy in the team, because Silva and De Bruyne are getting better and better.
Silva's injury doesn't seem to be a big deal at first glance, Wen Sheng's best use of the formation is still 4231, and Nasri, Milner, Mane, and Aspas are all in the winger position, which can replace Silva's position.
But if you think about it seriously, Silva is basically irreplaceable, Nasri has excellent breakthrough ability, passing, and shooting, but sometimes Nasri's handling of the ball is not as good as Silva's, Silva can be a local coordinator, he can make his teammates around him participate in the attack, Nasri does not have this ability.
A member of the Matadors, Silva's creativity is also top-notch, his passing is not as wide as De Bruyne's, he is more delicate, sometimes the ball is more concealed, and the timing of the pass is very masterful.
Nasri can't replace Silva, and as for other players, it's even less likely to replace Silva's role, Wensheng has a headache, and the coaching staff always laments that Silva's injury is not timely.
Hawking expressed his dissatisfaction with the team doctor, who should have made a relatively accurate judgment at the first time to avoid Silva's second injury, but the team doctor team failed to do so.
Hawking's complaint made Wen Sheng feel that this matter was really wronged by the team doctor, and secretly made a note to the team doctor team in his heart.
"Well, I now have a bad premonition!" At the end of the pre-match press conference against Ajax, Wen Sheng complained again in front of captain Kompany.
"Because of David's injury?!"
Wen Sheng nodded, "I studied for two hours and found that no one in the team can replace the role of David!" Time is too rushed, and I'm not sure if the problem of his absence will be resolved! ”
Kompany didn't know a lot about the manager's thinking, but Wen Sheng's words made him worry about it.
Realizing that he was a little negative in front of Kompany, Wen Sheng immediately smiled: "It is important to say that it is important to solve his problem, and it is not important to say that it is not important, but it can only maintain the stability of the midfield and backfield, and there is no problem in attack!" ”
"I still believe in our abilities, you don't have to worry!"
Against Ajax the next day, Wen Sheng's solution was to use Aguero as a winger and Dzeko as a single striker, and the team changed the 4231 tactic.
Wensheng specially talked to Aguero for this, under Mancini, Aguero also did the role of winger, but he is not very interested in the winger position, first of all, he is more eager to approach the goal in the middle, and secondly, this guy is a little lazy and doesn't want to do too much running, the winger position is also involved in defense in Wensheng's tactical system, and sometimes for the team's defensive needs, the retreat is still deeper.
At Crystal Palace, Mertens' style was that of a point-grabbing winger, who ran well on the flanks and into the box, and Wensheng's request to Aguero was modeled after Mertens' template.
Zabaleta, Virgil van Dijk and Vincent Kompany and Kolarov formed the backline, with midfielders Wanyama and Dembele as the central midfielders, Kevin De Bruyne up front, wingers Sergio Aguero and Nasri on both wings, and Dzeko in the centre.
Ajax's side have also changed from the previous game, and their start to UEFA looks like 4132.
Wen Sheng thinks that De Boer is unlikely to put on such a formation, but this is Manchester City's home stadium, Ajax's formation looks too attacking, not in line with their 433 tradition, who knows that after the game started, Wen Sheng found that De Boer really did this.
"This guy is crazy!" Wen Sheng was very unimpressed with De Boer's adventure.
It's hard to say whether De Boer is crazy or not, but Ajax's fate is definitely hanging by a thread, and if Ajax fails to win this game, the hope of qualifying may not even be theoretical.
Thinking about Ajax's situation, De Boer's posture doesn't seem to be so abrupt, Wen Sheng himself is just making a fuss.
Ajax's attacking posture was obvious, pressing high up front, because of the formation, they actually did this job quite well, Manchester City's defenders were a little careless after the opening, Ajax took advantage of the momentum to play a wave of attacking climax, and to the worry of Manchester City fans, Ajax's attack was well rewarded.
In the sixth minute, Ajax got a corner kick opportunity, Eriksen took a corner kick, Wanyama was not tight, and was actually drilled by De Jong, and the header broke through the door of Manchester City, and Manchester City, which was playing at home, fell behind Ajax 0:1.
Wen Sheng was very angry on the sidelines, he raised his arms vigorously but put them down weakly, and the cursed words in his mouth did not come out after all, it was obvious that he was trying to control his emotions.
Wan Yama is only 21 years old, a first-year freshman in the Premier League, and he has indeed had a brilliant performance before, but he is too tender, sometimes it is normal to say that such a mistake is normal, Wen Sheng feels that if he yells loudly, it will make this young player carry a heavy psychological burden, which is not conducive to the later play, so he can only hold back.
Ajax's morale was boosted, and the impression of Manchester City in the last game was simply an invincible existence, and who knew that this game did not seem to be so scary from the beginning.
De Boer also applauded his boldness, in just a few minutes he saw that Manchester City lacked control in the backfield, the last game had Yaya Toure, he could help the team run in the backfield very well, and now it is Wanyama and Dembele, these two youngsters do not have the level of Toure, but Manchester City is still playing backfield control, and their own team's crazy tactics are used correctly.
